The idea that a Moroccan muslim man would marry a western woman without the religious ceremony is a HUGE RED FLAG. In their eyes it is much more important than the legal ceremony. My man told me once, "We must marry in Islam. If we don't I can leave you. I want real marriage with you". This one one of the red flags I saw later on, when he wanted to marry me in just a civil ceremony and told me, "Marriage is marriage. We will be married. As long as it is legal in your country is fine with me". This was the beginning of the end with us.

Peace out,
